Karim Said wins London’s first ever Enescu scholarship
Jordanian-born pianist Karim Said, whose music inspired the film director Christopher Nupen to make the documentary Karim’s Journey, is the first winner of the Enescu Society scholarship granted by the Romanian Cultural Institute in London.
Remus, artistic director of the Enescu Society, was one of the judges on a panel that included Enescu’s biographer, Noel Malcolm.
As a Enescu scholar, Karim will study and include in his repertoire works by the Romanian composer, and the Institute will give him the opportunity to give a recital within the Enescu Festival, as well as a research programme in Romania.
